Believe in Excellence

  This quote from Vince Lombardi, has more meaning than most people realize. For you see God wants all of His children to obtain excellence. For if we walk that path in liffe, we will excell at all God planned for us as long as He is in the center of our hearts, "We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us." Philippians 4:13 (NIV)

A'apocalyptic' Scenes in Mariupol. Under Siege

Children in a bomb shelter in Mariupol, Ukraine, on Sunday. (Evgeniy Maloletka/AP) Mariupol, a Ukrainian port city that was home to more than 400,000 people just two weeks ago, has been almost completely shut off from the outside world by advancing Russian forces. How can a grown man be fearful of a baby? Putin has ordered the slaughter of babies, old people, and civilians. Is this because of his greed, and thirst for power.Is he trying to put back together the USSR? We saw it in King Herod. He ruled Judea from 37 BC. The Bible says he initiated a murder of all the infants in Bethlehem in an attempt to get rid of the baby Jesus. Then there was Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, who was scared that one day there would be too many Israelites and that they would take over Egypt, so he made the Israelites his slaves. Pharaoh then commanded that all the newborn Israelite baby boys should be killed. To read more: click here

The Sadness and Hurt Caused By Others

  Attacks hit Ukraine children's hospital. We wonder how people could want to hurt children. It makes us angry. But we forget that the great adversary of humanity, is the devil, and when people do not have Christ in their hearts, then the devil enters in. All we have to do is look to see what is going on in the Ukraine. A man who has succumbed to the enemy and wants to pump himself up and take what it not his. To read more of this click here: Hospital This happened before, and was done by a man called Adolf Hitler. He was power hungry and caused devastation all over Europe. Let's face it, there is evil in the world. We must pray asking God to save the Ukrainian people from this agressive enemy and cause him to be pushed out of the Ukraine. Franklin Graham said, "“Our prayers not only are needed, but the greatest hope we have is that God has not forgotten the Ukraine. I want people to know that God has not forgotten them. God hasn’t turned His back on them,” he continued.&q

A Gift That Keeps On Giving

I always loved writing as a child and young adult, but never dreamed I could ever be a published author. Wasn’t that for someone more qualified, dignified . . . someone in a tweedy jacket with leather elbow patches and a sweet-smelling pipe? Despite encouragement from teachers who even called me a ‘gifted writer,’ and some early ‘successes’ in writing, I never considered myself a real writer. And yet I continued to write. A love of words and storytelling seemed to drive me. Whether it was journaling, corresponding, creating a PTA newsletter, or sending an opinion piece to the newspaper, I was always writing. Was it a gift?
